The 34-year-old winger finds the sprints the toughest task of all as the double winners get back to work at their Carrington base.
"Long distance running gets easier as you get older," said Giggs. "It is just the quicker stuff that is quite hard.
"We started by seeing where our fitness is at and the treadmill test is quite hard.
"That will start to build things up. I'm not really looking forward to it but when you've done it all before, you just use your experience to get through it."
Giggs, back from a break in Portugal, is still savouring United's triumphant campaign last season when they won the Champions League and retained the Premier League title.
He marked a record-breaking 759th appearance for the club by scoring from the spot in the dramatic shootout victory against Chelsea.
It was the second time Giggs had lifted the European Cup and he added on United's website: "Obviously, last season ended brilliantly for the team and for myself.
"Although I am not looking forward to pre-season training, it is good to be back."

"Calm down Ronny boy ! I've been Giggsy's biggest fan forever but there comes a time for all players when they can't do it anymore, Giggsy is no exception. I wish he was twenty tears old again ! I've posted several times about him not retiring too late 'cos I remember Charlton's last year and he was bad, bad, bad. That's the memory that sticks in my mind and I would hate to see Giggsy go that route. About the village team .... you got that right that I can't make it, I'm 56 years old and my body is wrecked with old injuries, that's where Giggsy and you are gonna' be one day. By the way, who do you play for ? I've been a United supporter all my life and here I am, arguing with another United supporter ... that's dead 'andy !!!"
